    A U.S. Army military ceremony is taking place on a parade field, likely a change of command or unit activation/deactivation ceremony. Soldiers in OCP (Operational Camouflage Pattern) uniforms are participating in a formal flag or guidon ceremony, with one soldier saluting while another holds a cased or folded guidon. The setting appears to be a military installation with buildings and trees visible in the background.

    FORT BENNING, Ga. – During a ceremony reactivating the Army's 197th Infantry Brigade here July 31, the brigade's new commander, Col. Bart G. Hensler, draws off the casing that enclosed the unit's colors, which are being held by the brigade's new senior enlisted leader, Command Sgt. Maj. Victor M. Benavides. The Army inactivated the brigade in 2013, but has reactivated it to increase the ability to train recruits for service with the Infantry through what is known as Infantry One-Station Unit Training, or OSUT.
